I’ll second that we have no links to DV8 or RAGEMP3. We don’t “host” anyone and are not a “topside topsite”. I think your investigation sucks.

We are partly hosted in Denmark, yes. Not that it serves any relevance at all, we aren’t Danish, we just like the connectivity we get there. We chose to use bogus details in our WHOIS information because sites like this like to poke around. If we had genuine details in there, you’d have posted them all over wouldn’t you? Then we’d have had all kinds of assholes telephoning us.

On behalf of all the SceneForce staff, I’m sorry some of you think it’s “shitty”. Yes we list releases and some of the less informed among you will think it’s endangering the scene and is a huge problem. It isn’t. No group has ever been busted in whole or in part due to a public list of releases. Our main aim is to have a comprehensive history of the scene. We care as much about stuff that got released in 1857 as we do 2 seconds ago in 2009.

Love and kisses, One / SceneForce Staff

Oh and MP3’s ripped from CD’s then put out ‘in the wild’ = WAREZ. It’s all 0’s and 1’s in the end and it’s ALL warez regardless of content. And this only the beginning. Wait till ACTA comes….

‘topside’ is a common term used by underground file sharing communities to define a public portal that can be easily accessed and used for communications, an example of a topside board is http://www.macserialjunkie.com. It is used to anonomously post serial numbers, access to online files for download and access information to private servers.

topside is the opposite of underground, not a typo.

“Since when did the music industry become experts in investigations? Perhaps they deputized themselves and forced their interests into the actual policing of crimes. Perhaps the UK Police are lacking in the expertise to identify a conspiracy to defraud the music industry. That must be it.”

Am I the only one who’s seeing scary parallels between the copyright industries of today and the Catholic church of the middle ages?

Are you, poster, a retard? You evidently have NO clue what you’re writing about. What are you on about SceneForce or whatever it was? Thats just a shitty public site that indexes releases of ALL groups in a database. DV8 were not linked, in any way, with any shit website like that. You evidently have NO idea how the scene works, this entire article is a complete joke.

“Admin from DV8/RAGEMP3 was selling the promos on Ebay. Thaâs what got him caught. Iâm gonna miss all the crunk from RAGEMP3 ”

So, in the long run, it was a bunch of RETARDS that didnt need to be doing such stupid SHIT in the first place?
WONDERFUL……..maybe they’ll grow up some day and be a REAL asset to filesharing!
we can hope!

Without the entertainment cartels, two thirds or more of the world’s retired (or fired) police officers would be out of work.

They don’t need retirement pensions with Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music, and Time Warner, Viacom, Fox, Sony, NBC Universal and Disney, just waiting to snap them up as soon as they leave their former employers.

Retired cops religiously maintain their contacts. That in turn means the cartels have immaculate connections under the Old Pals Act.

You don’t have to be a genius to figure out the implications.
Cheers!
